Pizzeria Paradiso held a soft opening Friday night.

Hyattsville’s newest pizza place is officially opening for business at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, but the staff was serving pizza and beers a day early to a small, enthusiastic crowd.

The 2,000-square-foot restaurant has outdoor seating that will prove popular during the warmer months, including several tables good for date night in the front and two picnic-style benches perfect for larger gatherings on the side.

The best seats, however, may be a set of five outdoor stools at a large open window looking into the bar. They offer the convenience of sitting at a bar, without all the extra elbows, plus the possibility of a nice breeze.

As with the Pizzeria Paradisos in Georgetown, Dupont Circle and Old Town Alexandria, the Hyattsville location has a well-curated beer menu that will also prove a draw.

Pizza Paradiso and Art Works Now, the nonprofit arts education organization for all ages, both share the former Marché Florist building at 4800 Rhode Island Ave.
